Step Six: the ball falls into the coke bottle
Step Seven: the bottle drops because of the weight of the ball and raises the other side
Step Eight: which pushes the string

7. Why it wouldn’t work.. The first million times
The turn table was to heavy and wouldn’t budge when the ball hit it.
The velocity of the big ball, was to slow to rotate the turn table.
The ball missed the coke bottle, due to improper alignment
Weight on the end of the seesaw was to heavy
Train Wreck
